This hood E is in the form of aframe,

to the erson' holding the arm; I aim to pre- I ventt e escape of such fragments and to ro'vide means for retaining them-within the rame. This I accomplish byforming a hood E at the upper rear portioirof the frame or that portion which is innneglintly back of the breech of the barrel B when the barrel is and the striking-face 23 of the hammer C passes througlrthe. opening 22 in the frame in order to strike the cartridge, as is shown in Fig. 1. In t-he'further construction of the hood E a forwardly-extending flange 24 is formed at the top of the hood, which flange extends from side to side of the frame A of the arm, and said flange 24 is 'made tapering at its under face in order that the breech of i the barrel may readily pass it when thebarrel is closed. This flange prevents theescape of particles in an upward and rearward direction, while the side members of the hood or those surrounding the opening 2'2 prevent the rearward escape of any fragments, particuiarl when the hammer iscl osed, as is shown in Fig. 1. l

The toy pistol above described is exceedingly simple and economic in its construcrenders a pistol of that type pra'cticall s safe to the user.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters 1. In a pistol, the combination with a frame and apivoted barrel, of a hammer, a trigger adapted for locking engagement with the hammer, a projection from the barrel adapted for locking engagement with the trigger when the barrel is open, and a spring in engagement with the trigger and the bar rel.

2. In a pistol, a pivoted trigger, a pivoted barrel having a downward extension trom its breech end for locking engagement with the trigger, and a s )ring bearing at one end against the barrei near its pivot and at the other end against the front of thetrigger.

3. In a toy pistol, a frame, a barrel pivoted in said frame, a trigger for the barrel, and a spring in engagement with the trigger and the barrel, acting to hold the barrel in 3 either open or closed position. E

4. In a toy pistol, the combination with i the frame, a barrel pivoted in the frame and l sense? a foot extendin downward from the breech end of the barre ,of a spring-controlled hammer pivoted in said frame,- a trigger also pivoted in said frame, a spring having bearing against the trigger and against the barrel at the trunnion therefor, which-spring tends to force the trigger in direction of the hammerand also acts to hold the barrel in either closed or open position, a head for the trigger provided with a forwardly-extending. s ur provided with a shoulder at itsreanedge, a

pistol, a frame, a barrel. pivframe, a foot extension from spring-controlled hammer pivotedx in the frame, a trigger likewis e ivotedjin "Saiiiiil frame, said trigger beingprovided a"; head having a sear oint for -eng with the hammer an a projection -or-en+ 'gagernent with the extension from'the bawei,

the trigger having a rece'ssin: the forward edge of. said head, and a spring'having hearing at one end against the underside of the barrel adjacent to its pivot, the other endof said sprin engra ing the said recessin the forward e go o the head of the trigger;

6. In toy pistols, a frame, a barrel pivoted. in the frame and a hood formed at the upper rear portion of the frame, adaptedas-a back-T ing for the breech of the barrel when closed,

said hood having an openmgtherein'for the passage of the striking-head of'the hammer,

the hood being provided with a forwardly iextending flange at its top, the said flange extending from side to side of the frame andtapering at its under face.- v

7. In toy pistols, a frame, a barrel pivoted in the frame, a hood having an openingtherein formed at the upper rear portion of the frame, occupying a position at therearof the breech of the barrel when c1osed, --said hood having an upper forwardly-extending. flange for the purpose described; V r In testimony whereof I have signed my.
